SUMMARY:

Changes on the way to consolidation and deepening of the decentralization process concern both the establishment of new frontiers of competence for the three levels of government and the resizing of the system for sharing national revenues between the union, states and municipalities. Subnational governments, especially local governments, have taken on an increasingly important role in terms of accountability for the delivery of public services. Given the reality, which has already been widely verified, of the transfer and incorporation by municipal entities of a varied set of attributions and given that, in addition and to a certain extent, this context of municipal accountability is supported, regardless of the level of sufficiency, by an increase in the fiscal structure of the municipalities, the researcher is interested in better understanding how specific aspects of public policy production corroborate the effectiveness of the actions of municipal governments. Our study is based on the National School Feeding Program (PNAE), a public policy to promote food and nutrition security that has existed for the longest time in the Brazilian national scenario and is, worldwide, one of the largest and most universalizing school feeding programs. Its regularity is an aspect that enables the aggregation of databases and, therefore, robust investigation processes. In this sense, we consider it privileged – from the point of view of the intensity and proximity of relations between government and society – the space where municipal public management is carried out in relation to the possibility of research on the subject of state capacities and performance of municipal public management, central themes to the thesis. The phenomenon we want to investigate intertwines the theme of state capacities and the performance of public management. A starting question underpins the development of this investigation: How do state capacities condition the effectiveness of public management in micromunicipalities, having as a parameter the fulfillment of the minimum of 30% of purchases of school lunch items from family farming within the scope of the PNAE? The hypothesis that we will submit to the test in this thesis constitutes the argument that the political and institutional dimensions are the components of state capacities on which the good performance of public management in micromunicipalities most depends. The objective of this thesis is, therefore, to understand how state capacities generate the effectiveness of public management in micromunicipalities, having as a horizon the legal objective advocated in the PNAE law, which establishes the obligation to purchase a minimum percentage of 30% of purchases in school lunch items from family farming. In this study, specific objectives were established based on the cross-interpretation of constructs that structure the themes of state capacities and municipal management performance. The proposed specific objectives are: i. identify a set of state and institutional resources available to local governments; ii. outline a general behavior pattern for the set of Brazilian municipalities regarding aspects of state capacities; iii. compare the result of interactions in the set of state distinct; iv. synthesize particularities regarding the way in which state capacities operate in micromunicipalities; The plot to be woven in this thesis associates the theoretical- analytical categories delimited as “state capacities” and “governmental effectiveness”. For the purpose of demarcating the unit of analysis, this research is dedicated to understanding the constraints on public management performance in the context of the realities in which the smallest municipalities in the Brazilian federation are inserted (micromunicipalities with up to 10,188 inhabitants). Methodologically, this is a study of a mixed nature (quanti and quali) and of broad scope. Data from the total of the 2,513 smallest Brazilian municipalities were extracted from “Munic” (IBGE) and from the database of the National Education Development Fund (FNDE). To verify the univariate and multivariate influence of the variables included in the preliminary analytical model, we used the Generalized Equations Estimating method, a way to account for the existing correlation between repeated measurements of the same observational units. The software used in the analyzes was "R" (version 4.0.2). Results confirm the hypothesis that the political and institutional dimensions exert greater influence on the effectiveness of municipal public management in micromunicipalities.
